Answer:

C.

Explanation:

I would say that answer choice C is the best out of this selection. Carbon is the main element in organic compounds, and organic compounds just so happen to make up the cells that carry out life processes for all living things. Hope this helps.

When Carbon is combined with other molecules like oxygen, hydrogen, Carbon forms essential compounds  for the maintenance of life, including sugars, alcohols, fats, aromatic esters, carotenoids etc. In fact the carbon composes the cell itself since it forms the basic structures of the cell membrane: Cholesterol, Phospholipids, Carbohydrates.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer: As a body cell grows, the ratio of SURFACE AREA to volume INCREASES. Before it grows to large, a cell will divide into two DAUGHTER cells. So that each new cell receives its own genetic instructions, the cell REPLICATES or copies, all of its DNA.

Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling allow for ________ and ________ of the fetus so that it can be tested for abnormalit
max2010maxim [7]

The fetus can be screened for abnormalities using karyotyping and biochemical analysis using amniocentesis and chorionic villus sample.

<h3>What data can we glean from CVS and amniocentesis?</h3>

In at-risk fetuses, these tests can detect genetic illnesses such cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, and sickle cell disease. The main benefit of CVS over amniocentesis is that it is done considerably earlier in pregnancy—at 10 to 13 weeks as opposed to 15 to 20 weeks—thus saving more time for the mother.

<h3>What can a couple learn about their growing fetus from amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling?</h3>

Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are prenatal diagnostic techniques used to identify certain fetal genetic disorders. The likelihood of miscarriage rises with both procedures.

Genetic variation helps populations adapt to a changing
timama [110]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is the kind of reproduction that requires two organisms (male and female) to form an offspring. The male organism produces gametes called SPERM while the female organism produces gametes called EGG. These two gametes come together in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a zygote, which develops into an offspring.

In sexual reproduction, gametes are produced by organisms involved via a process called MEIOSIS. Meiosis, however, reduces the chromosome number of the gametes by half. However, one process unique to only meiosis and sexual reproduction is called CROSSING OVER.

Crossing over is the process whereby chromosome segments is exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosome. This process causes a recombination of chromosomes (alleles) in such a way that the gametes will be genetically different from the parent organisms (genetic variation). According to this question, sexual reproduction leads to more genetic variation than asexual reproduction due to the process of CROSSING OVER that occurs in sexual reproduction.

1. What type of succession takes place that increases the biological diversity of an ecosystem? For example, if we started with
professor190 [17]

There are two types of succession that lead to the increasment of the ecosystem:

1. Primary succession is the change in the structure of an ecosystem represented with the increase of the ecological community on an area that has not been previously occupied by an ecological community such as area after the lava flow or glacial lake. The first organisms of primary succession are pioneer plants usually, lichens and mosses.

2. Secondary succession includes the step of removal of pre-existing community and after that, colonization of the new one.
